Think of the numpad number layout.
hvd = horizontal, vertical or diagonal
coord = 1,2 or 3 if horizontal or vertical and 1 or 2 if diagonal (1 is up, 2 is down)...
hello('v', 2) - Asking for the second vertical column etc
def hello(hvd, coord):
if hvd == 'h':
print "horizontal it is"
if coord == 1:
print "789"
elif coord == 2:
print "456"
elif coord == 3:
print "789"
else:
print "coord is wrong"
elif hvd == 'v':
print "vertical it is"
if coord == 1:
print "741"
elif coord == 2:
print "852"
elif coord == 3:
print "963"
else:
print "coord is wrong"
elif hvd == 'd':
print "diagonal it is"
if coord == 1:
print "159"
elif coord == 2:
print "753"
else:
print "coord is wrong"
else:
print "hvd is wrong"
I just want a critique on this function. I am interested in knowing if there is a nicer way to do what I am doing and if there is anything wrong with my code.
It seems quite hard to look at especially since it contains place holder statements and the actual statements I want might be 10 lines long each... Would be unwieldy surely?
